Spore creator Will Wright is addressing the massive Comic-Con crowd at ballroom 6CDEF right now, talking about his own nerdy obsessions, a topic attendees are quite familiar with. Wright is talking about his otaku bent, the Stanley Kubrick directed 2001: A Space Odyssey. The film, which features aliens, evolution and space travel quite prominently, is clearly a perfect lead in to talk about the upcoming Spore.

Will's obsession with the movie sounds hardcore, as he talks about his hunt for a lenticular version of the 2001 movie poster. He finally came across one, a poster that he ultimately had Gary Lockwood aka Frank Poole from 2001, sign.

Will's now moving into other topics — his obsession with aliens, the acceptance of video games as an art form, and the evolution of the book, among other topics — moving at a mile a minute.

I'm sitting down on the faux plastic grass of Sony's mammoth, and quite cool, GC booth. They've got wood chairs set up facing a large screen that reads "Welcome to the Scee Press Conference."

Hey! Phil Harrison just stopped by to say hi. Nice guy. I ran my best guesses for the conference by him to see if I could get a reaction:

PSP Video Download Service announced: Stone faced.
FIFA tournament announced: Stone faced.
FIFA president to take the stage: Stone faced.
Any my personal favourite wild rumour: PS3 Rumble controller announced: Stone faced.
